AI-suggested
A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users should upgrade Nuxt to version 4.4.7 or later (for Nuxt 4) or 3.21.7 or later (for Nuxt 3) to remediate this issue. Since this affects only the development server on Linux, avoiding running the development server on multi-user systems or restricting local user access can reduce risk until patched.
Description
Nuxt versions 4.0.0 before 4.4.7 and 3.18.0 before 3.21.7 have a vulnerability in the development server on Linux where the vite-node IPC server binds to an abstract-namespace Unix socket without permission restrictions. This allows local unprivileged users to connect to the socket and potentially read sensitive files such as .env and SSH keys through the SSR plugin pipeline. Production builds are not affected as this IPC server runs only in development mode.
